You'll meet me at a quaint local kayak launch on Turkey Creek where I'll go over the basics of paddling.

This paddle is like a walk in the park from start to finish and is primarily shaded. You won't be paddling against currents or in open water against the wind, you'll be paddling through a gently winding creek with overhanging mossy oaks, sandbars and past surprisingly elevated sandy bluffs.
